Powerful Russian River Pinot with stunning floral complexity and structured backbone.
Rose petal and violet leap from the glass. Concentrated blueberry core wrapped in cedar spice. Wintergreen adds unexpected herbal lift. Dense but not heavy - structured tannins frame the fruit without overwhelming. Long finish carries floral notes through mineral undertones. Built for cellaring but drinking beautifully now. This 2016 vintage hits peak Russian River form.
🍷 You want Burgundian elegance with California ripeness and have patience for proper cellaring.
Pairs with: Duck confit with cherry gastrique, Grilled lamb with herbs, Wild mushroom risotto, Aged goat cheese
